I am trying to move my 936A2 to storage, my CTIS is not working so I have aired up all the tires with my garage compressor. All but one rear tire, it will not take air? If I apply air the valve stem will fill with air but nothing will go into the tire. If i depress the valve a small of puff of air will come out? It looks like the axle/wheel has been worked on since the paint is broken on all the bolts at the hub. I need a fast fix, it can't sit in front of the house for Thanksgiving!

By valve stem do you mean on the back side of the tire or at the Scrader valve? If it is the valve you are refuring to,
remove the air hose that goes to the stem on the wheel. Most likely a valve core is in the stem. Remove it to use CTIS
correctly, put air hose back on and try again.

That is what I was thinking. The valve stem core is still in the tire.

Yep there is a 99.99% chance that there is a Valve Stem in the wheel that wont take air via the CTIS valve. This is also a cause for the CTIS system to not work as a whole (5 flashing lights after it cycles)
